Sendmail is an MTA.  It isn't a good idea for the MTA to second guess
intentions.  Yes, some other OS's might do things that way, but that
isn't the un*x way.  If you have a program that sometimes generates
output that should be mailed off you can easily have it capture the
output in a file and only mail that file if the file is no-zero.

    programname > /tmp/log$$ 2>&1
    if [ -n /tmp/log$$ ]
    then
            /bin/mail -s "programname run at $(date)" username
    fi
    /bin/rm /tmp/log$$
